How To Tattoo Choosing The Correct Needles For Lining & Shading! + Do Not Make This Mistake!!!

It still amazes me that even though I’ve been tattooing for over 15 years, I can still learn stuff from others. Great videos my man.

Fantastic work man I watched your videos for 2 hours and the second day my tattooing just changed..clean one pass lines..knew how to tune it right..hit the right depth at first try..treasure for beginner who wants to start tattooing on the next level please keep going!! More on needles and tehnique for packing shading etc!! Big thanks

My "go to" needles are 5,7,9RL for thin, standard and thick lines 3RL for tiny details 7,11CM shading and color packing large areas and 9,13RS for shading and colour packing tight corners

I always knew how to draw but never tattooed. Which is why I’m here. Staying down till I come up

I was a tattoo artist for 10 years but in 2012 I went back to school and got into software engineering, still doing a tattoo here and there on family or friends. I need some extra cash after a recent divorce so part time firing the machine back up, My kit is old and needles now expired so am re-upping my stock and found all sorts of terminology I hadn't heard before, plus wanted to see what guys are doing nowadays. Not as much has changed as I thought but still I learned quite a bit here. Great video man thank you!

not only is your explaining on point for someone who is a beginner but the effort in this video to make sure we understand is a breath of fresh air, thank you so much!!!!

seeing unus annus in the background of the intro almost made me cry :') also good video! i learned stuff good!

You are an absolute breath of fresh air, my man. Thank you for these fantastic videos, mate. Proper quality! Much love.

I love the tip use the needles as a paint brush cause when I first started all I had was 3RLs and I wanted to do a thicker lines and started from the start using 9RS for line work so thank you for reinforcing that you can use different needles for different things and by the way great videos

This is the only video on this topic that matters. Honestly, nobody else explained it like this.

Love this video it actually let me know that I'm doing the right thing but it seems like I understand this video only because of my experience in tattooing off and on love the way you broke down the needle groups and how you compared them to paint brushes boy I made a bunch of mistakes using the wrong needles at times but now I know I'm ready

I been looking up videos for a few hours and you just covered what I needed to know in one video 🙏🏽

Most straight forward and informative needle choice video I’ve seen. Good job!

This videos was very informative, the most informative I’ve come across. By far the video that helped me exactly how I needed to be

Love the descriptions, I’ll definitely watch this a few more times to really help all the info sink in to better understand. Thank you!

This was a lot of help I’m glad there are videos on YouTube to help beginners who are learning how to tattoos understand the basics

This single video cleared up so much confusion for me, thank you!

Thank you, you are a really helpful and informative teacher! Much appreciated Jono :)

So much more informative in an example way than anything ive found on you tube so far... Thank you!

Thanks jono. My portrait work improved after watching this video and give me a few new ideas or reminder of old ideas that worked in the past
